Game description:It’s the year 1400- the late Middle Ages. Europe sees the dawn of the golden age of the new departures and the free spirit. Under the rule of the bourgeoisie and businessmen, more and more towns are emerging from the clutches of the aristocracy and are achieving independence, power and wealth. New businesses are flourishing, bringing financial strength and political influence to a growing economy.

However, life in the narrow, overpopulated alleyways and streets of the towns also has its downsides: epidemics and diseases are spreading, and thieves and highwaymen lie in wait to get their piece of the wealth. Now you can try your hand in these exciting times of change. Will you head down the path of an honest craftsman or a dubious priest? It’s your choice.

You like RPG’s?! Well, good news, Ember for Mac is added to Porting Kit! This game has much of the look of a Diablo-alike, but it isn’t … quite.

Game description:A passion project 10 years in the making, Ember is a homage to classic role-playing games (RPG). Enter the world of Ember as a resurrected “Lightbringer” summoned to protect the dying Embers as the world is on the brink of collapse. Beginning in the Deep Barrows, traverse vast environments divided between above ground and underground realms – ranging from lush forests to dry deserts and dark abysses – to reach the City of Light. See how the story unfolds through encounters with strangers by making pivotal decisions about your own destiny.

We will drop now and then a few “Hidden features” of Porting Kit. Most people use Porting Kit in the “default” way, while Porting Kit is so much more. We try to make an awesome experience in use and in looks.

Did you know that you can change the Porting Kit theme?
When you go to the Porting Kit menu in the top bar. You can go to “Preferences” –> edit/change. There you wil get into a menu where you can choose between: 3 modes, 4 themes (Default, Blue Galaxy, Boxer Dark Shelf and Boxer Light Shelf) and background color. This way you can make Porting Kit look awesome, in the way you like it to be.

Besides that you can still change in the library between Icon view and List view. The most beautiful is of course the Icon view, but if you are more practical and when you want overview, you can switch to list view. It simply doesn’t matter, you can change it fast and easy with just one click of the mouse button. Enjoy Porting Kit! Suggestions and tips can always be sent using the contact form, and maybe we can implant it into Porting Kit. We are open for every idea :)

Another golden oldie has been added to Porting Kit!! Metal Fatigue for Mac has been added to Porting Kit. The game was added into the GOG.com catalog a few weeks back, and now it’s also available in Porting Kit. The game reminds me on Dune 2000.

Finally it’s there!! Myst IV – Revelation for Mac has been added to Porting Kit.

Finally it’s there!! Myst III – Exile for Mac has been added to Porting Kit.

Myst III – Exile plunges you into an adventure so real, you’ll forget it’s a game.

There are also journal pages and entries you can pick up along the way to get some more backstory for all the characters involved. The main story of the game is how Saavedro (played by Brad Dourif, probably the strongest acting performance in the Myst series), a slighted citizen of a world ravaged by Sirrus and Achenar, has taken 20 years to plot revenge against Atrus and his family. You predictably fall into his trap and have to puzzle your way out to reach the conclusion of the game.
